This is a correction notice to a previously published research article about gut bacteria and ME/CFS. The original article examined how the composition of bacteria in the digestive system might be different in people with ME/CFS and what role this might play in the condition. This erratum document updates or corrects information from that earlier publication.
Corrections to published research ensure that clinicians and patients receive accurate information about potential biological mechanisms in ME/CFS. Accurate microbiome data is particularly important as it may inform future therapeutic approaches targeting the gut-immune axis.
As a correction notice, this erratum does not present new research findings or establish causal relationships. It primarily serves to correct errors in the original publication and does not independently prove any new mechanistic connections between gut dysbiosis and ME/CFS pathology.
About the PEM badge: “PEM required” means post-exertional malaise was an explicit required diagnostic criterion for participant inclusion in this study — not that PEM was studied, observed, or discussed. Studies using criteria that do not require PEM (e.g. Fukuda, Oxford) are tagged “PEM not required”. How the atlas works →
